Default 180 rear tire

For you guys with a 180 rear on your Dynas, Does it handle a lot different with the wider tire or about the same as the 150. I'm going with a set of ME880's in the next week or so and I'm just deciding if I should go wider in the rear.

I didn't notice a difference. Both pegs still get the same amount of grind time

You probably wouldn't notice unless you rode the two sizes back to back...even then, I didn't notice a big difference.

Here's a pic of mine and my brother's bikes. You can see that they pretty much have the same amount of contact as shown by the dirt on the tires.

I'd have to think it would feel better in the turns with the wide tire.

I noticed some difference, but it might have just been all in my head.

Mascman, noticed your brother has the SEII's with BCT baffles. I also have the silver Dyna with SEII's and BCT baffles.
